Memorial Fund
Honoring a Legend
Do it with Bill's Spirit!
Who was Bill Freeman?
Bill Freeman was the Founder and CEO (“Chief Entertainment Officer”) of Spirit Group, Inc. He was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, who always had time for others, especially those who needed advice, coaching, and encouragement.
He was an Industry Legend, known by Manufacturers and Rep Agents alike for his passion for the industry. Bill was also an AIM/R Past President (2006 - 2007) and a huge supporter of the Association as well as the Rep Advantage in the supply chain. Bill passed away unexpectedly in May 2022. For our tribute to Bill, click below.
Bill believed in the importance of education and training as key components to bettering the Rep Function. The Certified Professional Manufacturers Representative (CPMR) credential is just one of those components.
Still to this day, his company believes in the value of professional development and has 3 Certified Professional Manufacturers Representatives (CPMR) on staff, as well as Certified Sales Professional Sales Consultant (CPSC). Professional sales training, knowledge of consultative selling techniques, and three years of executive education provides an understanding of how to run an effective and forward-thinking manufacturers rep firm.
Why this fund?
We sure miss Bill.
To honor Bill’s memory and legacy, AIM/R has established the Bill Freeman Memorial Fund. This fund will provide financial resources to Rep Agents seeking professional development and industry certifications. Criteria and applications will be announced in 2025.
